VII. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] In order to more clearly understand the invention, the followingdefinitions are provided:

[0023] Iceberg Lettuce: Iceberg lettuce, Lactuca sativa L. var. capitalaL. is also known as ‘crisp head’ lettuce. Iceberg lettuce is a lettuceplant type that forms a firm, spherical head formed with tightly foldedbrittle textured foliage. Internal color ranges from white to yellow tolight green. The wrapper leaves surrounding the head are wider than theyare long. Leaf margins can vary by type, being entire, undulating, orfrilled. Wrapper leaf color ranges from yellow green to dark green.

[0024] Core Length: Core length is the length of the internal lettucestem. Core length is measured from the base of the cut head to the tipof the core.

[0025] Core Diameter: Core diameter is the diameter of the lettuce stemat the base of the cut head.

[0026] Head Diameter: Head diameter is the diameter of the verticallysliced lettuce plant head at its widest horizontal point, perpendicularto the stem.

[0027] Head Length: Head length is the diameter of the vertically slicedlettuce plant head as measured from the base of the cut stem to the capleaf

[0028] Average Head Diameter: Average head diamter is an average of themeasured head diameter and head length of the lettuce head.

[0029] Average Head Diameter: Core Length Ratio The ratio of the averagehead diameter to core length is indicative of the percentage of useableproduct produced by the lettuce plant.

[0030] Frame Diameter: The frame diameter is a measurement of thelettuce plant diameter at its widest point. The measurement of framediameter is from the outer most wrapper leaf tip to outer most wrapperleaf tip.

[0031] Head Weight: Head weight is the weight of the marketable lettuceplant, cut and trimmed to market specifications.

[0032] Rogueing: Rogueing is the process in seed production whereundesired plants are removed from a variety. The plants are removedsince they differ physically from the general desired expressedcharacteristics of the variety. The differences can be related to size,color, maturity, leaf texture, leaf margins, growth habit, or any othercharacteristic that distinguishes the plant.

[0033] Market Stage: Market stage is the stage when a lettuce plant isready for commercial lettuce harvest. In the case of an iceberg lettucevariety, at market state the head is solid and has reached an adequatesize and weight.

[0034] Taking into account these definitions, the present invention isdirected to seeds of the lettuce variety Sun Devil, plants produced bygrowing Sun Devil lettuce seeds, plants selected from a collection ofSun Devil plants and seeds derived or produced therefrom; plantsproduced by crossing a lettuce plant with a Sun Devil lettuce plant andseeds derived or produced therefrom.

VIII. Origin and Breeding History of the Variety Sun Devil

[0035] Sun Devil is an iceberg lettuce variety developed from a handpollinated cross of PAG 02-23, an individual plant selection from thecommercial variety Raider, available from Genecorp seed, and Van Pirealso available from Genecorp Seed. The cross was made in year 1 in theSan Joaquin Valley. The two parental varieties were selected for theircompatibility, PAG 02-23 was the source for bolt tolerance in the fallgrowing conditions of the desert production locations of California andArizona and Van Pire was selected for its size, color, and texture. Thecross was made in an attempt to produce a dark green, sure headingiceberg lettuce with improved texture and size for fall plantings inYuma, Ariz., and Huron, Calif. F1 seed was harvested.

[0036] Approximately 40 plants of the F1 seed were planted in a SanJoaquin Valley production field for seed increase in year 2. The blockwas rogued, eliminating the self pollinating plants. The F2 seed washarvested in August year 2.

[0037] The F2 seed was evaluated in research and development plot trialsin years 2 and 3. The seed was then increased in year 3 in a San JoaquinValley production field. The block was intensely rogued at the marketstage, selecting plants for improved head and frame size, bolttolerance, and dark green color. Additional rogueing for uniformity insize and maturity was done until complete seed maturity. The remainingplants were bulk harvested producing the F3 seed in the fall of year 3.F3 seed is known as Early Sun Devil lettuce.

[0038] The F3 seed was extensively trialed throughout growing seasons ofyears 3 and 4 in Yuma, Arizona and the San Joaquin Valley lettuceproduction regions.

[0039] Individual plant selections were made on the basis of increasedsize and later maturity. The bulk seed and seed from individual plantswere increased in year 4 in the San Joaquin Valley research production.Selections were made for large head and frame size, dark green color andbolting tolerence. Further intense rogueing for size, type and maturitywas done until harvest of the F4 seed. The resulting plants were notedas expressing the desired phenotypic traits.

[0040] The F4 seed was evaluated in research and development plot trialsduring the year 4 and 5 growing seasons in the fall plantings of Yuma,Ariz. and the San Joaquin Valley of California, where additionalselections were made for improved size, color and maturity. The F4 seedwas increased in year 5 in a San Joaquin Valley research productionfield and selectively and intensely rogued for uniformity of type, sizeand maturity. The F5 seed was then harvested.

[0041] During the year 5 growing season, the F5 seed was trialed inYuma, Ariz. and the San Joaquin Valley of California. This variety wasnoted to exhibit the desired phenotypic traits, producing an improvedlarge dark head and frame. The F5 seed was planted in year 6 in a SanJoaquin Valley commercial production field, where it was selectively andintensely rogued for uniformity in size and maturity. The F6 seed washarvested that fall.

[0042] The F6 seed was planted in large strip trials in the year 5 and 6growing seasons of Yuma, Ariz. The evaluation of these trials showed thevariety to exhibit the desired phenotypic characteristics of improvedhead and frame size, dark green color, and improved texture, while beinguniform, stable and without variants. The F6 seed was increased in year7 in a San Joaquin Valley commercial production field, and selectivelyrogued for uniformity in size and maturity. The F7 seed was harvested.

[0043] The F6 and F7 seed of the variety Sun Devil, as evaluated incommercial trails and production, is stable and without variants.

[0044] Increased refinement of the variety Early Sun Devil was done toimprove this line. Intense selection work was done to increase the sizeand uniformity of the Early Sun Devil plants. Refinement of the varietywas successful. The current refined and distinct F7 Sun Devil issignificantly more uniform, and consistently larger heading and framed,while maturing more slowly than F3 Early Sun Devil.

[0045]Lactuca sativa cultivar Sun Devil has the numerous distinguishingcharacteristics as outlined in the following summary list.

[0053] Breeding and Selection

[0054] The present invention is further directed to the use of Sun Devillettuce in breeding and selection of new varieties.

[0055] A. Breeding

[0056] In lettuce breeding, lines are selected for their appropriatecharacteristics. For example, one line may be selected for for bolttolerance in the fall growing conditions of the desert productionlocations of California and Arizona. Another line may be selected forthe size, color and texture of the lettuce head. Crosses are made, forexample, to produce a dark green, sure heading iceberg lettuce withimproved texture, and size for fall plantings in Yuma Ariz., and HuronCalif.

[0057] To optimize crossing, it is important to note that lettuce is anobligate self-pollinating species. This means that the pollen is shedbefore stigma emergence, assuring 100% self-fertilization. Since eachlettuce flower is an aggregate of about 10-20 individual florets(typical of the Compositae family), manual removal of the anther tubescontaining the pollen may be peformed by procedures well known in theart of lettuce breeding.

[0058] In addition to manual removal of anther tubes, a modified methodof misting to wash the pollen off prior to fertilization may be used toassure crossing or hybridization. About 60-90 min past sunrise, flowersto be used for crossings are selected. The basis for selection are openflowers, with the stigma emerged and the pollen visibly attached to thesingle stigma (about 10-20 stigma). Using 3-4 pumps of water from aregular spray bottle, the pollen are washed off with enough pressure todislodge the pollen grains, but not enough to damage the style. Excesswater is dried off with clean paper towels. About 30 min later thestyles should spring back up and the two lobes of the stigma are visiblyopen in a “V” shape. Pollen from another variety or donor parent arethen introduced by gently rubbing the stigma and style of the donorparent to the maternal parent. Tags with the pertinent information ondate and pedigree are then secured to the flowers. About 2-3 weeks afterpollination, seeds are harvested when the involucre have matured. Theseeds are eventually sown and in the presence of markers such as leafcolor or leaf margins, the selfed or maternal seedlings or plants areidentified. Generally, there are no visible markers and breeders mustwait until the F₂ generations when expected segregation patterns for thegenetic character of interest can be followed. This latter situationmandates a lengthy wait to determine if hybrids are produced. Two usefulreferences teaching the methods for out crossing lettuce are: (1) Ryder,E. J. and A. S. Johnson. 1974. Mist depollination of lettuce flowers.Hortscience 9:584; and (2) Nagata, R. T. 1992. Clip and Wash Method ofEmasculation for Lettuce. Hortscience 27(8):907-908 both of which arehereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0059] B. Selection

[0060] In addition to crossing, selection may be used to isolate lettucenew lettuce lines. In lettuce selection, one or more lettuce seeds areplanted, the plants are grown and single plant selections are made ofplants with desired characteristics. Such characteristics may includeimproved head and frame size, deeper or darker green leaf color, etc.Seed from the single plant selections are harvested; separated fromseeds of the other plants in the field and re-planted. The plants fromthe selected seed are monitored to determined if they exhibit thedesired characteristics from the originally selected line. Selectionwork is continued over multiple generations to increase the uniformitynew line.

Example 2 Comparative Analysis

[0080] Following the procedures of Example 1, Sun Devil iceberg lettucewas compared to various other varieties. Comparative data was obtainedand analyzed for different iceberg lettuce lines. Core length, corediameter, head diameter, head length, average head diameter, framediameter and head weight as provided in the definitions section aboveand FIG. 1 were compared. The data are presented in Tables 1-12. Table 1shows trial data comparing Raider and Sun Devil iceberg lettucevarieties. Table 2 shows trial data comparing Early Sun Devil and SunDevil iceberg lettuce varieties. Table 3 shows trial data comparingPAG-02-23 and Sun Devil iceberg lettuce varieties. Table 4 shows trialdata comparing Van Pire and Sun Devil iceberg lettuce varieties. Table 5shows trial data comparing Early Sun Devil and Sun Devil iceberg lettucevarieties. Table 6 shows trial data comparing PAG-02-23 and Sun Deviliceberg lettuce varieties. Table 7 shows trial data comparing Van Pireand Sun Devil iceberg lettuce varieties. Table 8 shows trial datacomparing Raider and Sun Devil iceberg lettuce varieties. Table 9 showstrial data comparing Sun Devil and Early Sun Devil iceberg Lettucevarieties. Table 10 shows trial data comparing Sun Devil and PAG-02-23iceberg lettuce varieties. Table 11 shows trial data comparing Sun Deviland Van pire iceberg lettuce varieties. Table 12. shows trial datacomparing Sun Devil and Raider iceberg lettuce varieities.

[0081] The data presented in Tables 1-12 illustrate that Sun Devil is adistinct and novel iceberg lettuce variety for clarity, the followingdistinctions are noted. Sun Devil as a commercial lettuce variety mostclosely resembles the variety Raider. It is distinguished from Raider bythe following characteristics, supported statistically. (1) Sun Devilproduces a larger head diameter than Raider. (2) Sun Devil produces ashorter core than Raider. (3) Sun Devil produces a larger core diameterthan Raider. (4) Sun Devil is a later maturing variety than Raider. (5)Sun Devil has a larger frame diameter than Raider.

[0082] In addition to the measured characteristics, Sun Devil has adistinct leaf arcitecture and growth habit. The incision depth of thewrapper leaf margins on Sun Devil is extremely deep, while the incisiondepth on the Raider is moderately deep. Sun Devil grows upright, off ofthe beds, limiting leaf contact to the ground. This is an improvementover similar varieties as Sun Devil becomes less susceptible to bottomrot, a problem associated with contact to moist soil.

[0083] Through further selection work, the refined and improved SunDevil is distinct from its predecessor, Early Sun Devil, supportedstatistically. Sun Devil is genetically and phenotypically more uniformthan Early Sun Devil Sun Devil is larger heading than Early Sun Devil.Sun Devil produces a heavier head Early Sun Devil. Sun Devil is largerframed than Early Sun Devil.

[0084] In addition, Sun Devil is much truer to type than the Early SunDevil. Sun Devil is now free of all parent type escapes and is uniform,distinct, and stable.

[0085] Sun Devil is distinct from its parent variety PAG 02-23 (a whiteseeded selection made from the variety Raider) by numerouscharacteristics, supported statistically. Sun Devil has a larger corediameter than PAG 02-23. Sun Devil has a larger frame diameter than PAG02-23. Sun Devil has deeper incision depths in the leaf margins than PAG02-23.
